Medford Gardener

Hi everybody! Noah and I have been having fun with our first urban garden. It seemed a bit daunting at first, but "Crockett's Victory Garden" has convinced us that gardening in Boston is possible, and we're no longer limited to container gardening for our landlord has given us full reign of the yard!!

The Great Outdoors


The more I read about vegetable gardening, the more I learn that I've been missing out on precious planting months in the past. Certain vegetables like peas and spinach love the cold weather, and can even be planted when there is still snow on the ground.

Noah and I built this 6' x 6' raised bed and began our carrots, peas, lettuce, and spinach under a plastic cold frame cover about two weeks ago. The nights are now warm enough that the cover is not needed, but we will keep an eye out for any frosty nights that might come along.
